What Canva is

Canva is a utility for macOS: design tool.

It is distributed as a Homebrew cask, which installs a .app bundle into your Applications folder. Homebrew only automates the download and install step; the licence terms come from the vendor.

How to install Canva

  1. Open Terminal (press ⌘ + Space and type “Terminal”).
  2. If Homebrew is not installed yet, run the installer below once.
  3. Run brew install --cask canva.
